While I Forget Poem by Leopoldo Banda

It's weird how some memories you can't even remember you did and how there are some you can't forget you did.
Memories so insignificant like, that song you heard years ago but somehow you still know the lyrics.

And there are the bad memories. Memories you won't forget.
How you were scared at night when the darkness seemed to have no end.
And memories like that girl.
And how you felt that one night you were with that girl while listening to that song you can't forget the lyrics to.

Or how you can't forget that she is with someone else now.
And how the darkness now seems more comfortable than it did before.

So while I forget, I hope that the memories won't go forever.
While I forget, I hope I forget why I don't remember the lyrics of that song anymore.
I hope that you won't forget.
Cause' maybe I don't want to forget.
